Default Do JDM and/or turbo motors use a different air pump?

The non-turbo air pump doesn't look like it will fit. If they are different, I need one and all the hardware needed for install.

Turbo versus non-turbo, the fittings face different ways - they are not really interchangable.

Ok, well I need one then.

Does anyone have a turbo airpump and necessary hardware for installation?? I'll make a WTB thread also.

Dude, I know the above miata comment is a joke, and i'm probably taking this way to seriously, but...

what's with all the miata hate? MX-5's are awesome, you're just jealous you dont drive a vert, right?

When I took my airpump off, I slam dunked it through the basketball net in my driveway (So what if I had to lower it all the way, a slam dunk is a slam dunk ). It made such a loud sound when it landed . Then I kind of regretted it once I realized I could have sold it for a few bucks .
